JAMMU, Dec 12
Shiv Sena Hindustan Youth Wing Activists led by its President Ganesh Choudhary today held strong protest against Pakistan for sponsoring terrorists and drugs through drones to disturb peace in J&K, trouble in the region. The activists torched effigy of Pakistan and raised slogans against Pakistan for spoiling our younger generation and exploiting youth.
Speaking on the occasion, Ganesh urged Prime Minister Narendra Modi to deal with the source of terrorism across the border sternly.
From the sky, drones from Pakistan that drop drugs across the border; on the ground, a distribution model akin to a multi-level marketing scheme where an addict ropes in more addicts; consignments ferried from neighbouring states; prescription drugs sold against cancelled licenses and opioids procured from the darknet.
Ganesh further said that these are the myriad supply lines that feed and fuel the drug pandemic in Jammu and Kashmir which has stretched the public health system to its limits and poses a set of unprecedented challenges to security agencies. Analysing police records of seizure and arrests, both at an all-time high, reveals that, in many cases, the drug trade and terror networks also run parallel — and often intersect, he said.
Ganesh said profits obtained through the narcotics trade are sent back to Pakistan and then channeled to finance terrorist activities in Jammu and Kashmir.
We are faced with a new challenge where the drugs and weapons are smuggled from Pakistan together. While the weapons are delivered to the terrorists, the major part of the drug proceeds is returned to handlers across the border and the rest shared by the peddlers.
Prominent among those present on the occasion include State Chairman Shashi Pal Singh Salathia, Jammu District President Rai Kumar Gupta, Samba District President Nek Ram, Badi Brahmana Block President Sanjeev Kumar, Bishnah Block Vice President Sankar Singh, Arnia Block Vice President Bharat Bhushan,Bishnah Chairman Vikas Kumar,Bishnah Block Vice President Pritam Singh,Batra Chak President Mohan Lal,Parmandal Morh President Pawan Kumar, Karan Singh, Bhushan Kumar, Kamal Kumar, Punjab Singh, Jhankar Singh, Mohd Ashraf, Girish Kumar, Pawan Kumar, Kewal Kumar, Madhu Bala, Sunita Devi, Sonia Choudhary, Reena Devi, Veena Devi, Sheela Devi, Pinky Devi, Sunita Devi, Santosh Devi, Suman Devi besides others.
